Nonetheless, about 50% of all charter applications received by the CAB since October have been for ABC trips, competitively priced as much as 40% below regular economy rates on scheduled flights. (In 1975 U.S. charter or supplemental airlines held about 10% of the total passenger travel market between Europe and the U.S.) Hotelkeepers, who stand to lose since ABC passengers are not required to buy ground accommodations, remain unperturbed.
